Key Review Excerpts

My mother was a resident at Aegis Kirkland Waterfront for the past two years and this became a true “home” for her. Our experience of her home, rather than her facility or simply a residence, emerged directly through the staff's tender loving care and notable respect for her.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The tour that izzy gave me was so informative and comprehensive that it made me feel emotional and jealous that these folks get to live there where people took care of them 24/7 nearly 365 days a year

Prospective resident family member · 2025★★★★★

Too expensive for most people

General visitor · 2025★★★★★
